Poverty and Joy Collide

I was able to visit the dump today with students and other leaders of the Nicaraguan church.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached, food was distributed to grateful hands, and I was humbled to witness absolute poverty and joy collide.

It's interesting that Deuteronomy refers to the poor as "your needy and poor", not "the needy and poor".

For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, "You will freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land."
Deuteronomy 15:11
